Definitely agree. Lower ranks used to be free of druggers and players using "legal cheats", or P2W stuff, but now buyers get to assert their dominance over F2Ps. They already had high modification equipment, drones and augments available to them exclusively; but with this exp boost players who rank up too fast become weaker, or "softer cannon fodder", for the buyers to kill. Tanki is trying to spoon feed buyers to make them keep on wasting their money. First it was about depriving new players of supplies so they all were essentially 1 shot kills at the hands of druggers; and now it's about starving players of resources by making them rank up faster. All that we can do now is wait and see what dirty tactic they pull off next.

??? Nice poem btw

That was intense. Well written!

Ah, the good old 6.022×1023 entities On a more serious note, nicely written piece!

Is that a lighthouse? I thought it was a regular house, and there's one on Farm positioned beside the watchtower. Though I will need spectator to confirm if it fits the right angle.

The Canyon one can also be Farm, though. And I was quite suspicious about the last one being Skyscrapers, since the background matched but the building looked a bit different.

It's not actually about "improving" mobile controls. I personally like the current controls with "hull follows stick direction" disabled (it works really smoothly, as if you're playing on console). But I guess many players want the tank to move in the direction they move the stick (similar to how you control a person in mobile games). This isn't possible with regular hulls, since they have tracks and need to actually turn in that direction before moving. Hence, a hover hull is required for this purpose. It won't surprise me if they add more such hulls, in the future, in the light and medium categories.

It's not the "Time Remaining" that increases, but the data of the battle (map, mode, etc.) that slightly increases as more players join before you and perform actions. Sometimes, gold boxes dropping shoot the number from ~ 200 to more than 270. Keep in mind that this will always happen for the first few battles. I uninstall the app during the periods I don't play, and I have seen this happen everytime I join my first few battles. So, my advice would be to stop reinstalling the app or clearing the cache and let the game properly load. Better wifi definitely helps. Let the quick battle button find a battle, let it load for a long while till it reaches a very low number (1 preferably). By then, you would have been timed out for inactivity. Close the app (using that button on your phone that shows the list of running apps), then restart the app and try again to join a battle. Most probably, you'll enter it. If not, repeat the procedure until you finally get to play.

Not needed.

Many people think 'icy' is the easiest word to spell. Come to think of it, I see why.

Hmm... can I join?

The only recent update that received a positive response were the changes made to the HTML5 version, including stuff like fixing the camera, which made it somewhat more bearable. Had they continued taking player feedback and tried to further improve HTML5 and fix MM, rather than focusing on making as many cash grabs as they could, then we might have seen the steep decline in players straighten out a bit.

Currently, the only way for me to complete missions is to first change them so that I don't have to play too much and in different modes (requires 5 to 20 minutes as I want all rewards as crystals :x, and sometimes I only get 30 sec ads that keep giving me trash missions). Then, I have to play in multiple battles and actually try to play a bit poorly, else I get too high exp per week which can't be compensated by the daily, weekly missions and challenge rewards, along with battle funds and extra rewards by watching ads. One option is that I need to do all this 'passive grinding' to complete missions, and the other option is to not play at all. I readily chose the second one.

Stop being selfish, it's an intentional nightmare for others. It's better you enjoy yourself and let others complain. Hopefully this stupid experiment will end soon, at least for non-Legend ranks.

r_was564 Ask him to enter exactly this with the underscore ( _ ).

Isida get battle points for the damage it deals or the healing it does. How would making walls grant you points?

The Hornet-Vulcan + Heat Immunity combo might be nerfed soon, now that it's been the meta for quite a long while. I would advise against buying Vulcan at full price. Also, see whether you're comfortable using the turret and are not buying it just for its current OPness.

In the Augments spoiler, Adrenaline has been put under Hull Augments, and Gauss has been written as Magnum.

I am thinking that once Tanki feels Augments have fetched enough money and shouldn't be at the head of the arms race anymore, what excuse would it give? Like: "We realised that all such Augments were causing imbalance, so we took your feedback and decided to decrease their power levels." And then they would be nerfed to the ground and another P2W element will be brought into play. I wish I could ask the developers...

If Tanki does implement XP/BP in MM, it would have all the supplies, overdrives, modules, drones and augments added to it, too. It would be nothing like what XP/BP is right now. I doubt anyone would like that.

Looks like a nice contest. At least it's not just some random pics of some crates lying in a corner of the map, as in most of the Guess the Map contests.
